PREPARATION
|
| • | All surfaces must be cleaned before applying Seal-Once™ for best penetration and performance. Remove algae, grime, mold and mildew and old wood treatments using a pressure washer with appropriate cleaners and stain removers. |
| • | After cleaning, test absorbency of wood by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. If the water does not readily penetrate the surface additional stripping will be necessary. † Sanding or removal of paint containing lead may be hazardous. Call 1-800 424-LEAD for details.

APPLICATION
|
| • | Do not use if air or surface temperature is below 35°F. |
| • | Do not apply in rain or when rain is imminent. |
| • | DO NOT THIN. Mix well. Stir contents or shake thoroughly prior to use. |
| • | Apply two coats wet on damp with a brush, pump-up garden sprayer, air-assisted and/or airless sprayer. Use medium to coarse spray pattern. Brush out any puddles. |
| • | For best results, apply in the shade and out of direct sunlight. |
| • | When applying in direct sunlight and wood is hot, spray with a mist of water and apply Seal-Once™ immediately on dampened surface. |
| • | Apply to all wood surfaces and ends. |
| • | Do not use with other waterproofing products. |
| • | On very porous, aged wood an additional third coat may be necessary. |
| • | Wood can be painted or stained within 24 hours after Seal-Once™ is applied. |
| • | Approximate coverage 200-300 square feet per gallon, per coat. Actual coverage will vary due to porosity of wood.
|
DRYING TIME
|
| • | Allow water to evaporate before subjecting surface to light foot traffic. Depending on temperature 2-3 hours is sufficient. In most cases you can apply in the morning and have a barbeque in the evening.
|
CLEAN UP

| • | Clean equipment and brushes with warm, soapy water. |
